Months later and we still have the exact same problems. And I know **** about football! 

 

 

 

So this is where I have an issue. I also know **** about football, but my mindset is "If I don't know ****, then I must trust the people who are paid to know and have demonstrated that they do know..."

Aging team with both the NFL and other CFL teams picking away at depth and salary related depth choices is less consistent! More at 11!

I resemble that remark. 

It's natural for the positions you basically don't use in your scheme to have the most depth.

I'm mostly confused as to why we don't dress a 3rd kicker.

So this is the "Gravy Bowl" now.  I wonder who came up with that name?  Is it because the people of Vancouver are gravy-drinking inbreds?

Are any gravy-related activities happening this weekend? Is it poutine week again already?

I'm going with gravy-drinking inbreds for now.

Anyone notice that Neufeld is a GTD....? No mention of him having issues during the week. Would imagine that Eli goes in if Neuf can't start....

Dobson I think.

Either Eli or Dobson is an upgrade IMO.

I'd like to see either get a shot at doing a little more pass pro. Dobson was nothing to write home about when he played in Gray's spot but it was only his first start.

I feel like Neufeld is arguably our MO OL for this year.... don't wanna lose him. If anyone was gonna get subbed out, it's like Gray, who I generally like but feel like he's underperforming. But who knows... it's so hard to know what's actually going on along the line. Only the coaches really know for sure.

Not sure this is the game to test the waters but it would be good to give both Eli and Dobson a few more test runs before the end of the season, and it doesn't hurt to give Neufeld a game or two off.

It's really kind of funny to me how so many people have fallen off the Osh bandwagon because of perceived roster management faults. Comparing him to Maurice and saying he lost the room.... I mean, didn't last year prove that Maurice wasn't the problem? What do you think would happen of th bombers were stupid enough to jettison Osh this offseason??

I get having questions, but man it is just overboard around here most days.

We have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, and never will. Totally agree with your post.

I mean props to the Leo’s for making some hype for it. Gravy bowl is pretty funny.

Any time a guy takes a vet day and misses a day of practice they have to go as gtd/ questionable.  I didn’t see maybe he took a vet day. 
 Last time we started Dobson when gray wasn’t able to go. I imagine they will do the same to have Eli as the back up c in case kola goes down.

Anyone thinking Osh has lost the room and should be fired needs to put down the crack pipe for a while. Best coach in the CFL by far.

I don't think that O'Shea is going anywhere in the off season but the good will towards him for the 2 Cups has taken a beating this year and going out early in the playoffs may make the voices louder.

among a small handful of people on this board. I don't think the VAST MAJORITY of fans understand what is being complained about here or even thinks about it. They think about wins and losses, and the fact that we're number 1 in the West. It's easy to get caught up in the vacuum that is MBB, but a few angry people here does not equate to the majority of the fan base.

Two of my complaints in training camp and after the first game or two were:

- Horrible field position after kicking off

- Seemingly no upgrades (or even attempted upgrades) on defence

Months later and we still have the exact same problems. And I know **** about football! 

 

11-4 and ******* pathetic
